Mind reading may one day be possible, researchers say

According to a new study, 'a non-invasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) can be used to allow one human to guess what is on the mind of another human'

Mind reading might not be as far-fetched as many people believe, says a study published by researchers at the University of Washington.

Their research, published in PLOS One on Wednesday, demonstrated "that a non-invasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) can be used to allow one human to guess what is on the mind of another human". With only the use of brainwaves and a specifically designed computer, they examined the potential for exchanging basic information without saying a word.
